EDITOR’S NOTE

April / May 2023

Everything, Everywhere, All at Once aptly describes the glorious month of April. Welcome to Dallas Arts Month, when a brisk pace and comfortable shoes are the order of the day. This month’s programming promises to be a headspinning experience stemming from an entirely collaborative effort. Here we give you a sneak peek at some of our favorites.

Dallas Art Fair returns for its 15th edition. In honor of the anniversary, we check in with 15 international artists and their galleries. On the cover, Yu-Wen Wu’s Accumulation of Dreams VI, 2023, at Praise Shadows Art Gallery seemed destined to honor this triumph. Darryl Ratcliff, Nancy Cohen Israel, and Steve Carter join me in highlighting this diverse group in Fifteen for 15

Nasher Prize has begun their peak celebrations by the time this issue drops, and the crowning achievement that is the decades-long practice of Senga Nengudi is in mid-fête. Seemingly summing up the spirit of the season, Nengudi tells arts writer Lyndsay Knecht, “I accept [the Nasher Prize] almost like a group thing, you know, because none of us have gotten this far by ourselves.” The laureate’s work is on view at Nasher Sculpture Center through April 30.

The team at Dallas Contemporary has been busy readying their spring shows. You cannot be part of the art cognoscenti without knowing of José Noé Suro and hearing about his Cerámica Suro based in Guadalajara. It’s a magical place, attracting artists from around the world to work and team up in his studio. One such artist is Eduardo Sarabia, whose solo show, This Must Be the Place, will be on view alongside Cerámica Suro’s own exhibition. Eve Hill-Agnus gives readers an enthusiastic account in The Manufactory of Desires and the House of Dreams.

Ever wonder where the art lands after the Dallas Art Fair? We bring you two homes teeming with art. John Smith photographed the home and collection of David Liu and Michael Fountas, in Embracing Identity. Next, John’s son Archer came along to assist in capturing the essence of Erin Mathews’ pleasingly detailed pied-à-terre in Layered Elegance . The journeys of these collectors are described by Nancy Cohen Israel.

Sara Hignite takes a look at our thriving auction scene and the talent running the modern, contemporary, and decorative divisions in Premium Buyers. Get to know Ed Beardsley and Frank Hettig of Heritage Auctions, Capera Ryan of Christies, Charlie Caulkins of Sotheby’s, Brandon Kennedy of Bonhams, and, newly appointed for Phillips, Joyce Goss. Brendan Blaney handsomely captures their personas.

In May, TACA (The Arts Community Alliance), led by the Donna Wilhelm Family President and Director Maura Scheffler, honors two arts patrons of distinction whose volunteerism and commitment to the arts is undeterred. Lee Cullum shares the unique stories of Gene Jones and Joe Hubach in Cultured Bellwethers

Fashion was photographed by Luis Martinez on location at {neighborhood}, which is in the midst of opening their adjacent Lone Gallery. Giant windows overlooking the Trinity River added lightness to gossamer looks in On a Sheer Day

In our departments, we check out solo shows for Giangiacomo Rossetti at The Power Station and Yifan Jiang at Meliksetian|Briggs. Concurrently at The Power Station, artist Gregory Ruppe, with Alden Pinnell’s commitment to the endeavor, has turned his attention to Picnic Surf Shapes and Picnic Curatorial Projects; Danielle Avram illuminates. Chris Byrne speaks with artist Joe Minter, who has a work on view at Nasher Sculpture Center that was selected by Mark di Suvero to exhibit within his own Steel Like Paper exhibition.

Lastly, Matters of the Moment takes in the Talk of the Town exhibition on view at NorthPark Center. The show highlights work acquired for the Dallas Museum of Art through the Dallas Art Fair Foundation Acquisition Fund. It’s further evidence of this resolute pursuit across North Texas to bring rigorous programming to the community. Let’s applaud them all through participation. Enjoy the season. – Terri Provencal
